This ARW is the third NATO-sponsored workshop on Explosives Detection and Humanitarian Demining. The previous events were - Detection and Destruction of Anti-Personnel Landmines Moscow, 1997 - Explosives Detection and Decontamination of the Environment Prague, 1997. Over the last decade applied research in Humanitarian Demining has made progress to some extend, but according to the tremendous tasks of Demining and the lack of scientific methods for practical detection of explosive devices, research activities are still of the same importance than ever before. Concerning countermeasures...

These proceedings contain the presentations and results of several discussions of the workshop on Detection and Disposal of Improvised Explosives held in St.-Petersburg, Russia, September 7-9, 2005. This Advanced Research Workshop was the fourth event concerning Detection of Explosives in connection with counter terrorism. After the first three workshops, dealing with vapor and trace detection, electronic nose detection and detection of bulk explosives, this workshop was devoted to the detection of Improvise Explosives including: Methods of detection of Improvised Explosives (IE). Methods of...
